LOCAL SCHOOL
SCORES AGAIN
Southern Pines High School,
and especially its instructor in
physics, is to be congratulated
on the showing of local stud
ents in the first annual physics
contest for North Carolina high
schools, conducted by the Uni
versity of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill. Southern Pines has
previously won top places in
music and in dramatics in com
petition with schools of the
state; it is now showing itself
just as efficient in classroom
curricula.
Word came from Chapel Hill
this week that one Southern
Pines pupil had tied for first
place, that another had tied for
second honorable mention, and
that two others had tied for
third honorable mention. The
report of the results is printed
elsewhere.
One hundred and sixteen stu
dents in 12 high schools partici

HI NTER TRIALS
ARE REVIVED
The plan to have hunter trials
the day before the annual races
of the Sandhills Steeplechase &
Racing Association is an excel
lent one. The tvvo-tlay affair
should bring a lot of pc'ople here
for a Nveek-emi, and it is al
ready creating great interest
among owners of hunting
horses, both here and in the
nearby cities.
Hunter trials were held the
first year of the local steeple
chase races, in March, 1935, and
proved a gi'eat success. At that
time they were run off on the
morning of the race meet, on a
course laid out inside the Mid
land Road race course. This year
the plan is to run the trials over
a natural course rather than
one “set up” for the occasion,
and the committee has selectecl
a spot at The Paddock, near
Southern Pines where thei’e are
some eleven jumps of varied
type, all visible from vantage
points inside the course. There
will be ample parking facilities
for those desiring to witness
the trials.
With hunter trials Friday af
ternoon and the races the fol
lowing day the Sandhills sec
tion should have one of its larg
est crowds of the season that
week-end.

A WORD ABOUT
OUR BOY SCOUTS
What are we, as citizens, do
ing to promote the Boy Scout
movement in this section?
This is the gist of a letter re
ceived by The Pilot this week, a
communication which calls for
serious thought. For though
there are no two sides to the
question of the values of Scout
ing, there is an apparent lack
of active interest in the work in
some sections of Moore county.
“We wonder,” says the let
ter,” if the people of Moore
Cv unty realize the importance of
proper training for our boys in
the development of future citi
zens.” And continues:
“Many pyreata have visited Scoiit
«oble sa; ing.<» by great men regard
ing the St >ut movement of the
world. In his C... .f.’mas mes-sage to
the Boy Scouts of America our Pres
ident, FYanklin ]\ Roosevelt, gives
us in simple words the importance
of scouting, saying: ‘Menjbershlp in
the Boy Scouts is one of the most
It’s always a bad thing for a Con
gressional district when it loses a
Representative who’s been in the
House for several terms. The new
man has to start at the bottom.
Mr. Lambeth had beached the
charmanship of an important com
mittee, was fourth ranking Democrat
on the powerful Foreign Affairs com
mittee. His successor will start at
the bottom of whatever committees
he is assigned to, and it takes a long
[ time to work up. Seniority rules in
